The Dust Bowl, or the Dirty Thirties, was a period of severe dust storms. What caused this? Drought, erosion, and lack of crop rotation. The Dust Bowl was in the Great Plains (North Dakota down to Texas). This catastrophe intensified the Great Depression for the people in the region. Most people had to leave their farms behind, so they could look for work.
